Parents Professional recruitment videos?

[Former L10 gym mom]

My daughter is an upcoming senior and a level 10 gymnast. We are looking at D3 schools We are in the process of putting together a recruitment video . I know there are thousands and thousands of gymnast recruitment videos on YouTube. We can probably figure out how to do those too But there's also an option to pay a bit to a professional and get some snazziness and well professional finish to the video. My urgent question is .. Is it worth it to get a fancy one

No

Nope, save your money....and better yet, your own kid can probably put together a decent video with her own highlights.

No. None of the 16 gymnasts that have committed from my dd's gym has done any more than the parents taping them.

The advice we got... use Imovie app and make something short enough that can be sent via text message. And then a link with a YouTube play list if someone wants more.

What our club coaches have said is that college coaches want to see unedited video; video from competition is most helpful according to our coaches.

Here is a youtube video with college coaches talking about what they are looking for with recruits:
